Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs,

The Director is pleased to announce the re-charter of the Media and
Entertainment Interest Group (formerly known as the Web and TV Interest
Group):

    https://www.w3.org/2017/03/webtv-charter.html

The Media and Entertainment Interest Group's scope covers Web
technologies used in the end-to-end pipeline — including capture,
production, distribution and consumption — of continuous media, which is
here defined as videos, sound recordings, and their associated technologies.

The important changes from the previous Charter [1] are:

- Updates on mission and scope to note the importance of tracking
progress within W3C groups and gathering needs from industries and
external organizations.
- Addition of "continuous media" (i.e. videos, sound recordings, and
associated technologies) to clarify what "media" are in the scope of the
group.
- Updates on the lists of related W3C Groups and External Organizations
in the Coordination section.

Please use the following form to join the group; the form will also
instruct you how to nominate participants:

    https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/46300/join

Current participants are not required to rejoin this group because as an
Interest Group, there are no requirements for W3C Patent Policy
licensing commitments by participants in respect to the group's
deliverables.

The Interest Group co-Chairs are:
- Tatsuya Igarashi (Sony)
- Chris Needham (BBC)
- Mark Vickers (Comcast)

The W3C Staff Contact is Kazuyuki Ashimura for a total of 0.1 FTE.
